A former thug finds his past catching up with a vengeance when he tries to go straight in this stark crime drama that was inspired by actual events. Street life can kill, and if Switch (Thomas Jane) doesn't get out soon that's exactly what he fears will happen. When Switch makes a pledge to turn his life around, he does it not only for himself but for his kid sister Nikki (Jordan Ladd) and their best-friend Jimmy (Channing Rowe) as well. Unfortunately Switch's past doesn't want to be forgotten, and when vengeance comes knocking at his door, he must revert to his old ways if he hopes to get out alive.
